They mark the \glsentrytext{edge} of civilization, as nothing lies beyond them except the wild forest.
A standard bailey's walls stretch at least 50 steps in diameter.
Beyond that, the farmland stretches out another 100 steps; for a minimum diameter of 250 steps.
The outer perimiter pushes the forest back another 50 steps, with more for a healthy bailey, and a smaller safety zone in less well-tended baileys.
If the people living in the bailey lack the strength and skill to keep the forest back, the safety perimiter grows smaller as bushes creep towards the farmland, providing cover for monsters, and diminishing the time archers have to shoot at creatures},

The noise echoes around file miles in all directions, tempting monsters to investigate; archers wait to fire on them.
Sometimes the monster dies, most flee -- still alive, but with a painful lesson about approaching the sound of people, pipes, and song.
